What do commercial & industrial rooflights in Islington involve?
Our commercial & industrial rooflights service in Islington covers rooflights for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Many London roofs are reached only through the house or over neighbouring property, so lifting heavy glass is planned at survey rather than on the day. Typical uses for commercial & industrial rooflights include warehouses, schools, offices and retail units.
Islington sits about 2 km from Highbury and 2 km from Holloway, and we cover the whole N1 postcode district and the roads in between.

- Modular glass rooflights

Building control and safety duties in Islington
On commercial roofs the main questions are usually building control, fire classification of rooflight materials and safe access rather than householder permitted development. We confirm the route for your building before ordering.
For buildings other than dwellings, Approved Document L Volume 2 sets limiting U-values of 2.2 W/m²K for rooflights and 3.0 W/m²K for roof ventilators, including smoke vents. Fragile-roof safety and access are planned before work starts.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Commercial & industrial rooflights in Islington: questions
Are old rooflights a safety risk?
Older plastic rooflight sheets can become brittle. Anyone working on the roof must treat them as fragile unless proven otherwise.
Do you work out of hours?
For occupied buildings we can plan phased or out-of-hours working where access allows.
Can you replace old warehouse rooflight sheets?
Yes. We match the roof profile, replace discoloured or damaged sheets and plan safe access while the building stays in use.
How do I book a survey in Islington?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Islington?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
